Compare the flavour descriptions
K&M describes blue vervain as mild, earthy and slightly bitter. Black sage is described as bold, earthy and slightly bitter. Neither description means the two ingredients are interchangeable.
Make a fair side-by-side tasting
Use two similar cups and follow each packet’s brewing directions. Keep any additions out of the first tasting. Label the cups and note aroma, strength and aftertaste before deciding which you prefer.
Choose for your taste
Start with the milder description if you prefer a gentler cup, or try black sage if a bolder flavour appeals. You can also compare a shorter and longer infusion within the directions on the packet.
